Abstract: ‘Kiyoka’ is a new variety of tea plant bred by crossbreeding FYZ-41 (‘Yabukita’ x ‘Shizuinzatsu 131’), a hybrid, as the female parent and ‘Saemidori’ as the male parent. The plant may be used, e.g., for cultivation of tea leaves and leaf buds for consumption. The steamed leaves and leaf buds of ‘Kiyoka’ have a distinctive floral aroma, and excellent taste.

Abstract: A synthetic resin cap comprises: a cap body having a top plate and a cylinder that is vertically lowered from the peripheral edge thereof; and a liner provided on a lower surface of the top plate. The liner has a flat plate; an inter-seal projection that contacts an inner-edge side of an opening end and has an outer-seal projection that contacts an outer-edge side of the opening end. An outer edge of the liner is spaced apart from the cylinder at an internal side and is formed to ensure a space between the outer edge and the cylinder. The outer diameter of the outer-seal projection is smaller than an outer diameter of the opening end.
